Igor Rabello laments lack of chemistry after Fluminense defeat | OneFootball

Fluminense took the field with a significantly altered team and ended up defeated by Corinthians 1-0, this Saturday, at Maracanã, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match marked the debut of defender Igor Rabello as a starter wearing the tricolor jersey, who evaluated the team's performance.

“I think this team is not used to playing together. This causes a bit of a lack of coordination. There was no lack of effort,” said the defender, also commenting on the goal conceded: “Everyone tried to get the ball, but it went through everyone and went in.”

The Corinthians goal came after a free-kick by Matheuzinho into the area, with a header deflection by André Ramalho, which surprised goalkeeper Fábio and ended up in the back of the net.

Fluminense, on the other hand, tried to create chances but faced difficulties. The first shot came only at 30 minutes into the first half, when Cano headed after a pass from Ganso, but Hugo Souza saved it comfortably. In the second half, Lucho Acosta took a shot from outside the area and Lima tried from inside the area, but the Corinthians goalkeeper kept the score at zero.

With the victory, Corinthians climbed three positions in the standings, reaching ninth place with 29 points and maintaining an unbeaten streak of three games in the Brazilian Championship. Meanwhile, Fluminense dropped to tenth place, remaining with 28 points and suffering through the third consecutive round without a win, with two draws and one loss.
